In genealogy, certificates can provide us with lots of information to help
us trace our family history. A birth certificate provides us with information
like date of birth, parents names, father's occupations, mother's maiden
name, and the address at time of birth. As with all birth, death and marriage
certificates in the United Kingdom, they are available either from the G.R.O. (General
Record Office in Southport), or from the registration districe where the
original event was registered.
